In the photo beside, Winsor McCay on stilts climbs his way to meet King Morpheus of Slumberland on the Little Stone Bridge between Centre and Olympic Island: Toronto Islands. Any day this summer, if you were one of the thousands of visitors to Toronto Island, you might have seen some amazing characters in your midst. We performed a series of dream-plays based on Winsor McCay's work four times a day at the Lagoon Theatre.

Daily we would ask the question. "Who here has heard of Winsor McCay? Who know's Little Nemo in Slumberland?" And from the thousands of visitors we had, I think maybe a 1/2 dozen had heard of the beloved comics. Google changed all that overnight. Now all the closet Winsor McCay fans are online in droves, and every single one of our friends and extended family who came and saw the shows this summer are messaging us.

I can only hope this bodes well for the future development of these dream projects. Frolick put an awful lot of work into creating the two shows we played this summer, and plans are in the works to continue to develop more shows based on Little Nemo. So please, everyone, take a look around our site, join us on our Facebook group, and check back in with this blog as we continue to bring Little Nemo and the work of Winsor McCay to people LIVE, with puppets, stilts masks and music.
